How Long does a Cold or the Flu Last?

When you catch a cold, it may not feel like your body is working as hard as it can to fight off the invaders. You’ll feel an assortment of symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, and fatigue, after all. In truth, your body is hard at work fighting off the virus, and most colds resolve themselves within 7 – 10 days.

7 – 10 days is a long time for anyone, but is especially for anyone who relies on good health to perform their best. Students, teachers, families, business professionals, athletes, and entertainers and performers can’t always afford to take a day off from their busy lifestyles. While over-the-counter medications can help temporarily reduce your symptoms when they’re in full swing, these valuable capsules don’t do anything to shorten the duration of your illness. That’s where IV therapy comes in.

Why Get a Myers Cocktail IV for Your Cold or Flu?

You may have seen our Immune Boost IV, which is a fantastic way to strengthen your immune system and prevent yourself from getting sick. Our immune boost IV may also support a healthy immune response for people with chronic illnesses or who are recovering from surgery.

So, where to get a Myers Cocktail for your cold or flu? We’re glad you asked! If you are already sick, our Myers Cocktail may be right for you. But first, let’s introduce what’s in this classic IV.

Our Myers Cocktail IV contains…

• IV Fluids: A sterile saline solution that delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, rehydrates your body, and ensures 100% absorption.
• Vitamin B12: A B-Complex vitamin associated with preventing memory loss and improving concentration, as well as boosting energy levels.
• High Dose Vitamin C: A concentrated dose of vitamin C to supercharge your immune system and help your body fight off illness. Vitamin C plays many essential roles throughout your body, helping to maintain systems such as muscles, bones, and the circulatory system.
• Magnesium: Magnesium is a mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions throughout your body and plays a large role in regulating the normal, healthy function of nerve and muscle function, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, the production of proteins, and more.

Our Myers Cocktail IV contains High-Dose Vitamin C, an ingredient which may reduce the duration of a cold. This supercharged antioxidant dose can help bind to and remove free radicals from your body. Free radicals are unstable molecules which your body naturally produces, but which can cause cellular damage and give your immune system that much more work to do.

Our Myers IV also contains magnesium, a nutrient that plays a large role in proper immune function. Magnesium helps keep your cells healthy and supports healthy protein synthesis to help strengthen your body and your immune response. You can learn more about magnesium here.

The inclusion of vitamin B12 in our Myers Cocktail IV can support healthy immune function, help create healthy blood cells, and assist in energy production so you can kick your illness that much faster. You can learn more about vitamin B12 here.

Hydration is an often-overlooked part of illness. It’s easy to lose track of how much you’ve had to drink when you’re trying to sleep off an illness. Plus, your body will use more liquid than usual as it fights off bacterial or viral invaders. The saline solution in our Myers Cocktail hydrates you in addition to flushing out free radicals that contribute to further cellular damage.

This powerful combination of ingredients may help shorten the duration of your cold and help you feel better faster. This treatment generally takes between 30 – 45 minutes. We can also include anti-inflammatory or anti-nausea medication for fast relief from your cold or flu symptoms.
